Modded headphones with qudelix at the core
When I received the Qudelix 5K, I had already modified a pair of Superlux HD-681 headphones. I previously soldered my own balanced connections to the drivers, providing multiple ways to connect and...

A decent set of IEMs
I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

I wouldn't complain so much but my audio technicas are falling apart. One ear cup greatly sags down causing lots of strain and uncomfort on my ear, the fabric is completely falling apart, and now i noticed that the right cup keeps sliding down a few clicks.
guess ill just have to continue with ghetto repairs until these come in, sigh.
I seriously wish I didn't have to wait though, just like you. Think about it this way: You'll get to come back from winter break with some sweet headphones, on top of whatever you get for Christmas!
While the impatient asshole in me wants to complain, the deal that we're getting for the product we're receiving and the coordination involved is amazing. I'm willing to wait because I know what all has gone into this and I'm excited about the treasure that I'll be getting. If that means I'm floating $200 between now and then, oh well. I'm still getting something awesome.
I'm JACKED for my personal Christmas present.
yea the people who signed up latter might have to still wait till dec 18 but people who ordered earlier should have less wait.
They'll probably break up shipment of the 21k units between now and then, but shipping internationally is not exactly as easy as going down to your local UPS store with 10,000 boxes of shit (which would be TERRIBLY cost inefficient). Depending on how many units fit in one container, they may send some to the distribution warehouse earlier than others, but the goal is to have them all shipped by December 18th (if I read this correctly). That would mean that between now and then Sennheiser is responsible for receiving the parts for probably 24k units or more I don't know what their buffer is, but it's to account for returned/damaged/non-functioning units received by the end user). They'll get the parts in Ireland, which will almost certainly be from international origination, which is ANOTHER headache, and then start the manufacture of final product. Then there's QA testing, packaging, bulk packaging and shipping.
I've been out of the game for a while so I don't know how best to coordinate that aspect. I don't know the size of the box, so lets say 12x12x5. Approximately 4600 boxes that size can fit in a standard 40' shipping container, so is it worth it to go through the process of loading and shipping one container every 4600 units? Probably not, because you have to figure in customs fees (and paperwork... so much paperwork)
It's likely that they'll wait to ship at least the first 10k at once, if they do break up the full 21k units. So you have to account for build time, QA time, packaging time, bulk packaging time, load time, ship time (this is going on a big ass boat across a big ass body of water, after all) receiving time, inspection time, probably a secondary QA spot check time, then final distribution. Final distro is going to entail a shitload MORE work because they have specific serial groups assigned to specific purchaser groups, so they can't exactly shotgun these things out the door. Plus there's warehouse space they have to account for in costs, as well as headcount; the fact that we're paying $200 a pop is cool and all, but every day that passes eats away at their bottom line.
So you're looking at a supply chain that starts somewhere overseas, hits it's manufacture point in Ireland, ships to New Jersey and gets sent out from there. It's not nearly as easy as shipping each one out as it gets made. The logistics behind an undertaking this size are freaking mind-blowing, and it's ALL done behind the scenes. If you have good logistics people, which MD seems to have employed, we will never know if there is any hiccup. Sennheiser has agreed to ship xx,xxx units by xx/xx/2017, but that's a part of their agreement with MD. MD has agreed with you, the consumer, to ship you x unit by 12/18/2017. That's their service level agreement with you (SLA) and it is a huge issue when SLA is breached. For something of this magnitude, I bet you dollars to donuts that all parties involved are going to light fires under SO MANY ASSES to make sure they stay within SLA.
